* SilkHidingSteel: [[YamatoNadeshiko They might be proper Japanese maidens,]] but if they ever are pushed into using their full power, things tend to go...badly...for their enemies.

* BestServedCold: Years after being disowned by her parents, Yuuko, along with Rika and Harry, got to publicly humiliate them at a high-class restaurant using nothing but SocialFu.

* DrinkBasedCharacterization: Normally Arizona is a prim and proper lady, thank you very much! But if you get her drunk, she's easily one of the most perverted shipgirls you'll find.

%%* CovertPervert

* ChildhoodFriend: To Harry.

* [[spoiler: ReincarnationRomance: Considering that Natsumi is the reincarnation of '''Tamamo-no-mae''' and Harry is implied to be the reincarnation of the one person Tamamo loved, this very much seems to be the case.]]

[[folder: White Plains]] One of the Casablanca class escort carrier of Taffy 3. Has somehow become "momboat" to the entire Yamato Class. [[spoiler: Including Warship Number 111 and Warship Number 797, two members that were never completed.]]

* TeamMom: Acts as such for the Yamato Class [[spoiler: and derivatives]].

[[folder: Naka]]
A natural-born, Naka was an aspiring IdolSinger hampered by the industry before discovering her shipgirl nature. A frequent livestreamer that often co-hosts with Harry Potter-Nagato, whom she affectionately calls "Chibi".
* GamerChick
* WillTheyOrWontThey: With Harder.

[[folder: Naka[[spoiler:-Alpha]]]]
This special duplicate of Naka has somehow summoned thanks to the Original Naka and Harder. She is in fact based on the original hull for Naka that was destroyed while under construction by fire during the 1922 Kanto Earthquake. This version was scrapped after the fire and construction on Naka was restarted after laying down a new keel.

[[folder: Sendai]]

[[folder: Ooi (Birth name: Yuuko)]]
* ClingyJealousGirl: Deconstructed. While she is still clingy towards Kitakami, there is a tragic reason for it.
* ParentalAbandonment: Her parents disowned her for being a natural-born. Kitakami is all she has left that counts as family.
* ThoseTwoGirls: With Kitakami

[[folder: Kitakami (Birth name: Rika)]]
* ThoseTwoGirls: With Ooi.

[[folder: Fubuki]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Fubuki might be one of the sweetest shipgirls in Yokosuka, but hurt a child in her presence, and she has no mercy for you.
--> '''Fubuki:''' [[BorrowedCatchphrase Ara ara]]~ Does this look like the face of mercy?
* BigSisterInstinct: When Fubuki caught a Teke Teke that was planning to turn Harry into one of its victims, let's just say she and the other shipgirls who were on base made absolutely sure it wouldn't threaten Harry or anyone else ever again.
-->Fubuki just glanced at her with one eye while making sure not to take the other off the girl. "Yeah, I'll see you later, Mutsuki-chan. I'll see you tomorrow, Harry-chan." She waited as Mutsuki took off with Harry letting out a happy squeal as he said goodbye, before she turned her full attention back to the girl who shuddered at the smile on Fubuki's face. Said smile didn't reach her eyes and was somewhat predatory and frigid. It certainly didn't help that Fubuki's eyes were as cold as her name might suggest, lacking the usual warmth in them. "You know, Harry-chan is pretty much my Otouto in everyway, right? And it's my job as his big sister to protect him from those who might want to harm him..." Her eyes, if it was possible, got even more cold. "Which means that right now? Right now I'm pretty angry."
-->When the girl though shifted as if she was about to move, Fubuki held up one finger. "Ah-ah, I'm afraid that there's no getting out of this... Though I will say this..." Seeing that the girl was now focused on her, Fubuki grinned in a way that was in no way friendly. "As that American film we watched last week put it, we're clever girls."
* HeroOfAnotherStory: She is the flagship of her own squadron, which includes Yuudachi, Mutsuki, and Kana.
* AnIcePerson: Due to having a [[SweetPollyOliver crossdressing]] Yuki-Onna from the Arashis in her crew roster, Fubuki has the same powers over ice. [[OneHeroHoldTheWeakSauce Without the weakness to fire that Yuki-Onna normally have]], to boot.
* {{Troll}}: Enjoys pranking Filipino Officer Sheo Darren, and occasionally Kaga.

[[folder: Mutsuki]]

[[folder: Yuudachi]]
* BewareTheSillyOnes[=/=]BigSisterInstinct: Like Fubuki, Yuudachi took it rather...poorly when a Teke Teke was caught attempting to hurt Harry
-->Utterly confused, the girl furrowed her eyes until a sound caused her to turn and her eyes widened at the red ones looking right at her. Before she could do anything though, Yuudachi's hand shot out and gripped her throat before lifting her up and above the wall to reveal that the girl's lower half was gone, nothing there but smoke. "Hi, I'm Yuudachi! One of Harry-chan's other nee-sans. And welcome to our Nightmare Party, Poi~..."
* ExiledToTheCouch: Yuudachi's role in a rather comical series of DisasterDominoes caused her to be exiled to a literal doghouse by Fubuki.
* RedBaron: The Nightmare of Solomon.
* TranquilFury: Was rather quiet in expressing her displeasure at what Quirrelmort pulled at the end of Harry's First Year.
-->Placing her hand down, Fubuki's sleeve moved until some of her Fairies came out and jogged across the table to where Mutsuki and Yuudachi were. Both Destroyers glanced at her before putting their own hands down and accepting the fairies into themselves. Almost a minute passed as the expressions on both Destroyers shifted through various emotions. While Mutsuki just placed her hand over her mouth, Yuudachi's eyes began to glow in anger. "Well, seems that I have someone who I will be inviting to a Nightmare Party, Poi~"
* {{Troll}}
* UnusualEuphemism: Tends to say that people who make her angry are going to get a Nightmare Party.
* VerbalTic: Poi?

[[folder: Kana [[spoiler: Originally: Kaga]]]]
Kanazawa (usually called Kana) is the shipgirl form of the Tosa-class Battleship Kaga, prior to her extensive rebuild as an aircraft carrier. She is normally assigned to Fubuki's group.
* SempaiKohai: Amusingly, she has taken to calling Fubuki her sempai, much to the destroyer's bemusement.
* StudentTeacherRomance: Has a crush on her "sempai" Fubuki. [[spoiler: Is now officially in a romantic relationship with not just Fubuki, but the other girls who are in their fleet.]]

[[folder: Hibiki (Soviet Name: Verniy)]]

[[folder: Ume and Sakura]]
Formerly a pair of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitobashira hitobashira]] for an island caldera run by the Kamo Government. [[spoiler: Later summoned as twin installation shipgirls of the caldera.]]
* BuriedAlive: Part of the process of becoming hitobashira.
* CameBackStrong: Originally, Ume and Sakura [[MuggleBornOfMages barely had any magical power.]] [[spoiler: [[SuperPowerLottery Being revived not only gave them the powers of an installation, but also gave them access to the abilities that their crews had, as well as the abilities they had as earthbound spirits.]]]]
* CoordinatedClothes: Currently wear near-identical clothes.
* DatingWhatDaddyHates: Part of the reason Harry is so appealing to Ume and Sakura is because their [[AbusiveParents parents]] would never approve of him. They also find it ''hilarious''.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: Went through a great deal of hardship to get a second chance at life.
* FinishingEachOthersSentences: Demonstrated the ability to compete with Fred and George Weasley in that regard.
* TheGreatestStoryNeverTold: Unknowingly stopped a plan that would have allowed the Kamo Government to kick off [[WorldWarIII a third World War]] right as the second was ending. Said information was quickly sealed away by necessity.
* SilkHidingSteel: [[YamatoNadeshiko They might be proper Japanese maidens,]] but if they ever are pushed into using their full power, things tend to go...badly...for their enemies.
* SingleMindedTwins: To Ume and Sakura, virtually the only difference between them is which name they have.
* SpannerInTheWorks: A simple desire to prevent things from continuing the way they were going was the reason they lifted the PerceptionFilter around the caldera. They had no way of knowing that the caldera was a massive lynchpin in Operation Tatarigami, a plan to start WorldWarIII between the magical and non-magical worlds.
* StringyHairedGhostGirl: This was the form they took when using their powers as hitobashira.
* ThemeTwinNaming: Both are named after flowers with connotations of fleeting beauty.
* WonderTwinPowers: [[spoiler: Ume and Sakura can only deploy their rigging if they're together.]]
* YamatoNadeshiko: Were raised to be able to act like one.

[[folder: Louisiana]]
The spirit of the paper ship USS Louisiana.
* AndIMustScream: Being a paper ship, when Louisiana was summoned, the nature of the ritual effectively had her trapped in a coffin. And the wizard who summoned her had done so using the last of his life energy. It was only some DreamSpying from Harry, the kitsune on Yokosuka, and other paper shipgirls that allowed Louisiana to be saved.
* ChefOfIron: Louisiana is EXTREMELY skilled at cajun cooking. She is also a [[MoreDakka battleship]].
* GratuitousFrench: Likes to call Harry "mon cherie" and Natsumi "ma cherie".
* IOweYouMyLife: Definitely feels this way towards Harry and Natsumi.

[[folder: Yahagi (Birth Name: Kawa)]]
A natural-born who greatly looks up to Yamato.
* AscendedFangirl: Before she was awoken, Kawa idolized Yamato, and dreamed of joining the [=JMSDF=] to work alongside her. Now, she gets to fight by Yamato's side as a shipgirl.

!Kushiro Naval Base
[[folder: Captain Tanaka]]
The commander of Kushiro Naval Base, currently being groomed for flag rank by Admiral Goto and [[spoiler: The Chief of Maritime Staff]].
* BrassBalls: Find out a large Abyssal Fleet is heading his way and that he will not get support in time, he goes out and meets with them to find out why they're there in the first place.
* ReassignedToAntarctica: He is in charge of Kushiro because he pissed off one of his superiors, who tried to get him cashiered and had to settle for that while doing his best to ensure that Tanaka never received the supplies or support in the amounts he requested.
* ReassignmentBackfire: Said reassignment and the problems he gained from it causes him to forge positive relations with the locals to ensure that his base is largely self-sufficient, puts him in position to make peaceful contact with the Fleet of Laughter, and gets him put on the short list to to promotion to Rear Admiral anyway.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Violates orders to retrieve Akebono and Kasumi, resulting in his reassignment to Kushiro.

[[/folder]]
[[folder: Kamoi]]
* ForeignQueasine: She tends to offer delicacies from Hokkaido to Tanaka, mostly for her own amusement.
* {{Troll}}
[[/folder]]

!The Masamune Blades
The sword spirit tsukumogami of weapons crafted by the swordsmith Masamune

* BadassFamily: All of the members are minor kami.
* BreakOutTheMuseumPiece: All of them are National Treasures of Japan.
* FanNickname: The Bread Knives.
* FeudingFamilies: With the Muramasas.
* MasterSwordsman: What you get when you have spirits who have practiced with their true forms for centuries.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Tokunotakai is the youngest manifested member and was crafted in 1511. She looks to be in her early twenties, while her eldest sister Kotegiri is a well-preserved late thirties.

[[folder: Masamune-no-Kotegiri]]
The eldest member of the family, a katana owned by the Emperor of Japan.
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Her name of Armor Cutter dates to a battle in 1355 when she cut a fully armored opponent's arm off with a one-handed blow during a civil war.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Kotegiri serves as the Emperor's voice. She is also easily on par with Honjo and Juuchi.
* BadassBureaucrat: Senior Imperial Advisor to the Chrysanthemum Throne...
* TheDreaded: ...and when called upon Lord High Executioner of Japan. Has called three men "Master" in her time; [[SilkHidingSteel Emperor Showa (Hirohito)]], [[TheChessmaster Emperor Meiji,]] and [[MagnificentBastard Oda Nobunaga.]]
* GoodIsNotSoft: Totally committed to the cause of a strong, prosperous, unified Japan. Willing to take ''all necessary steps'' for that dream as the direct advisor and executioner of the Emperor of Japan.
* KimonoIsTraditional: Wears a traditional kimono, and has an impressive closet full of them in her room in the Imperial Palace. One in the back is [[OhCrap blood red silk with the Oda clan heraldry]] that she wears to perform executions.
* SilkHidingSteel: Polite, calm, a perfect lady. Also one of the three most powerful and deadly Masamune blades and the strong right hand of [[DemonKingNobunaga Oda Nobunaga]] during his battles to unify Japan.
* SingleStrokeBattle: How she fights, with single, precise perfect, killing blows.
* TeamMom: For the Masamunes she acts as a firm hand on them using PolitenessJudo.
* ThisIsUnforgivable: Hearing about the Kamo Government's plan to take the rest of the world with them left Kotegiri ''extremely'' displeased. Emperor Heisei shared the sentiment, bidding her to don the Oda Kimono again.
* YamatoNadeshiko: Extremely so from her centuries at court.

[[folder: Masamune-no-Honjo]]
Katana who is the most powerful of the Masamunes. Returned to the Tokugawa Clan by Harry Potter.
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Her enchantments allow her to cut ''anything'', but only things that she wants to.
* BadassCrew: A former member of the Potter Armory 1945-2013 when she was returned to her true family.
* DeadpanSnarker: Toward Juuchi.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: The actual Honjo Masamune disappeared in 1945 during the Occupation of Japan. She was the sword of {{Usefulnotes/TokugawaIeyasu}} before then.
* OneManArmy: One of the three most powerful Masamune blades, and arguably the most dangerous.
* RedOniBlueOni: The calm, controlled, and precise Blue to Juuchi's Red.
* SilkHidingSteel: Polite, demure, and able to ''totally wreck'' Norimune, who is a badass in her own right, in ''seconds''.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Fuji Apples.
* VitriolicBestBuddies: With Juuchi Yosamu.

[[folder: Masamune-no-Musashi]]
The daisho katana and wakazashi set of [[UsefulNotes/MiyamotoMusashi Miyamoto Musashi]]
* BoisterousBruiser: Always looking for a good challenge of her skills or a good party.
* CatchPhrase: Her standard greeting of "<Name>, let me whittle a bokken and kick your ass!" Alternately "<Name>! Do you want me to give you a beating?" to her sisters.
* ChallengeSeeker: Strives to perfect the Way of Swordsmanship by going on adventures and getting into trouble.
* InHarmsWay: Is striving to continually improve the Way of the Sword by her life experiences.
* MasterSwordsman: While all the Masamunes are incredibly skilled, Musashi is notable by being [[BeyondTheImpossible the most skilled of them all to the point that she is one of the most powerful in a fight because of her skill versus her enchantments]] unlike Kotegiri and Honjo.
* SpiritedCompetitor: Is shown to have no animosity to Truman refusing to fight her because of her oath despite Truman being almost as skilled as she is. Also refuses to fight a distressed Tokunotakai and instead tries to help Toku cope with her first battle.
* StrongAndSkilled: What makes Musashi a powerhouse is that while her baseline level of power is good but not great within her family (on a par with Fudo and Toku), she excels at getting the most out of it thanks to continual training and centuries of combat experience. She is only 'weak' in comparison to another legendary blade, though.
* TheIdiotFromOsaka: Speaks in [[KansaiRegionalAccent Kansai-ben]], also laid back, interested in fun and fighting and living day to day. Very much not an idiot, though.
* WalkingTheEarth: No set location or master, she obeys the final command of Miyamoto Musashi to "perfect her understanding of the Way of the Sword".

[[folder: Masamune-no-Fudo]]
A tanto dagger consecrated to the Buddhist deity Fudo My'oo. Serves the Owari branch of the Tokugawas.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Fudo has had an inferiority complex and viewed herself as "not a true Masamune" since she never did any great heroic deeds unlike her sisters. Her wish to prove her worth was granted -- by having to face down a partially resurrected {{Orochi}} in a solo fight until help could arrive. [[OhCrap A monster that the first time took a major Shinto deity to kill]].
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Lost the love of her life [[HeroicSacrifice Gorota Tokugawa]] during World War Two, a war that Fudo supported.
* TheDon: Often mistaken for a high level Yakuza because her blade etching gives her a back tattoo, she wears expensive suits, works as a Vice-President of her family's construction company, and drives a loud American limousine. All of which are stereotypical signs of a yakuza member. Despite this and her divine patron nudging her periodically to destroy criminal syndicates that transgress the unwritten code of the underworld, she is no gangster. Everyone just thinks that she is.
* TheDreaded: To the Yakuza. They all see her as the Angel of Fudo My'oo's Wrath upon those syndicates who transgress, and speculate which oyabun she really works for.
* GlorySeeker: Wishes to prove her worth and that she belongs. Ironically, she does not understand that she is really a SmallStepsHero and contrary to what her sisters think, she did have Kyoshu on the ropes in their last fight in 1923.
* HotBlooded: As her sisters joke, she is the Muramasa of the Masamunes. She is short tempered, and always spoiling for a fight.
* ReincarnationRomance: With her Master, no less than ''three'' times. The first time was during the Sengoku Jidai when she [[UnrequitedTragicMaiden fell for]] the Tokugawa Clan's great general [[AFatherToHisMen Torii Mototada]]. The second loop was on the eve of World War Two as the second son of her owner [[StarCrossedLovers Tokugawa Gorota]]. Now he's back a third time as the tengu schoolboy [[AgeGapRomance Uesaka Yoichi]] who has the memories of the other two.
* TattooedCrook: Has a full-back tattoo of Fudo My'oo thanks to her blade being etched. Is frequently mistaken for a yakuza, which does Fudo's temper no favors.
* WhatTheHellHero: With the best of intentions, shared the spells she had developed to fight Kyoshu with Sub-Unit 942 and supported the [[VillainWithGoodPublicity militaristic Kamo magical government]] during most of World War Two.

[[folder: Masamune-no-Tokunotakai]]
1511 Katana commissioned by the Takeda Clan to be an offering to the primary shrine of Hachiman to gain favor in war.
* AffectionateNickname: Toku to her sisters (and the readers); To-chan to her lover Co-chan.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: A nice and sweet girl who is a trained exorcist and one of the best instructors in kendo and kyudo in Japan.
* CovertPervert: Ho boy. Toku has a very complete Lady Chastity collection (and she started long before she found out that Lady Chastity was the story of Colombe with the serial numbers filed off, too). What's more, she and Colombe seem to enjoy role playing the Masamune Miko exorcising the Demon Blade quite a bit.
* HeelFaceTurn: A mild example in her backstory. Toku was not seriously challenged in her skills after meeting her sister Musashi in 1623 and got a bad case of arrogance and an unwarranted superiority complex develop as a result. This lasted until Colombe showed up in 1864 and defeated her. Combined with a WhatTheHellHero speech from Hachiman who compared her understanding of Bushido unfavorably to Colombe's, she realized how badly she was backsliding and rededicated herself to heroism.
* {{Main/Miko}}: A shrine maiden of Hachiman assigned to the Hachimangu in Kamakura.
* OnlySaneMan: Has to keep her sister Fudo, her lover Colombe, and the rest of the du Chasteler family's hijinks under control.
* OppositesAttract: With her lover Colombe du Chasteler. She is a spiritual, quiet, humble shrine maiden with HiddenDepths.
* ThePaladin: Consecrated to the service of the Shinto deity Hachiman, the Protector of Warriors. Also forged and enchanted to embody the Seven Virtues of Bushido, which can superpower her spells and abilities.
* SilkHidingSteel: Polite, modest, humble, dutiful. A skilled warrior and exorcist who can fight Colombe toe-to-toe.
* SlapSlapKiss: The first time she met Colombe in 1864, they fought after Colombe called her out on her arrogance as 'Miko Punchable Face'. The second time they met in 2013, Toku was much wiser and humbler and won the rematch because she had mastered herself. Shortly afterward, they started regular sparring with each other, and their budding mutual respect and UnresolvedSexualTension finally resulted in a LoveEpiphany during ''A Union of Bread And Butter''.
* YamatoNadeshiko: In conscious imitation of her older sisters Kotegiri and Honjo.

[[folder: Masamune-no-Truman [[spoiler: formerly Kamo]]]]
The spirit of the Truman Masamune, kept in the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library in Missouri
* TheAtoner: Volunteered herself for hostage duties in part because of her actions decapitating Chinese prsioners during the Rape of Nanking.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: She participated in the magical equivalent of the "Kill 100 People with a Sword" contest, but even she objected to a systematic slaughter of civilians to draw out enemy combatants.
* GoingNative: When she left Japan in 1945, she was a classically Japanese lady. In 2014, her avatar has shifted to a blond-haired blue eyed American girl who looks like President Truman's daughter.
* GraveMarkingScene: Has placed CherryBlossoms on President Truman's grave on the date of Japan's surrender and his death every year since 1972 to honor him.
* IGaveMyWord: Truman swore an oath to keep the terms of her captivity secret (to avoid further humiliation and bad feelings) and to refrain from using her abilities or fighting as a willing hostage. This provoked an argument when Musashi in 1954 unknowingly challenged her for a spar before offering to take her home. Truman refused.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Because Independence, Missouri being somewhat out of the way, Truman has been rather out of touch with the magical world, to the point of not even being aware that the Statute is on the brink of collapsing.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: The reason she still participated in the above slaughter.
* RetiredBadass: One of the more powerful Masamunes, now working as a gardener with her true body locked in a warded display case.
* ShockAndAwe: One of her primary powers is the generation and manipulation of lightning, from direct attacks to injure enemies to chains to bind them in place for a coup de grace.
* SuperSpeed: While many of the Muramasas and Masamunes can move at speeds faster than the eye can see, Kamo/Truman took it UpToEleven, able to keep pace with lightning.
* TakeMeInstead: As part of the surrender terms, MACUSA demanded one of the four most powerful Masamune blades as a hostage. Kotegiri was symbolically the Emperor's blade and would have humiliated Japan, Honjo vanished and was unavailable. Truman sacrificed her freedom so Musashi would be free to follow their shared Master's teachings.

[[folder: Nameless]]
The spirit of a Masamune blade who was captured and magically subjected to memory alteration spells. Very little is currently known about her. [[spoiler: Has been hinted that she is actually Masamune-no-Yawarakai-te, Juuchi Yosamu's counterpart.]]

* BadassInDistress: Was captured by a war criminal magician from Sub-Unit 942 and had her knowledge of how to use herself, ability to speak and walk, and even her name taken from her. Not even her sisters know who she really was. ''Masamune himself'' doesn't remember who she really was.

[[folder: Akutoku]]
The Sword of Corruption, Katana. Her power is to give insane courage to her wielder.

* ButtMonkey: During ''The Hunt For Norimune'' gets sucked into the attempts by her nieces to find their father. This results in [[OhCrap Akutoku's phone getting destroyed by Delilah's shot at her]], a [[GagHaircut fashion makeover thanks to Colombe's fire spell]], her [[DrivesLikeCrazy car stolen and destroyed by Jacklyn]], and finally being forced to [[HeroStoleMyBike give chase on a Hello Kitty child's bicycle]].

* BloodKnight: Before her [[HeelFaceTurn conversion to Buddhism]] she turned her owners into a bloodshed-craving berserker.
* TheFettered: Welded her blades into their sheaths during the run-up to World war Two to preven them being used. Has since broken the seal on her wakazashi to fight the Abyssals.
* HealingFactor: Her primary power is to self-heal herself and her weilder by consuming blood. The more blood that she sheds, the more powerful that she gets.
* HeelFaceTurn: Chisuheri was abandoned and forgotten in the attic of a Buddhist monastery for several decades before she could manifest. She realized that the greatest battle that she could fight was against her own evil nature and cravings for blood.
* HulkSpeak: Before her heel-face turn spoke about herself in the third person.
* KungFuWizard: Fights with her fists and magic rather than draw her blade if at all possible.
* MartialPacifist: Reasonable, calm, and level-headed as befits the Buddhist monk that she is.
* OnlySaneMan: Along with Umitsubame, is the primary cat-herder of the Muramasa family.
* ThisisYourBrainOnEvil: Her bloodlust is horribly addictive and terrifies her. She has been explicitly described as a recovering drug addict who found religion.

[[folder: Juuchi Yosamu]]
The greatest and third youngest of the Muramasas.

See the Potter Armory.

[[folder: Kagotsuruhe]]
The Sword of Hopelessness, katana. The most terrifying and darkly aspected of all the Muramasas.

* BadPowersGoodPeople: Crafted from every dark, unholy, and blasphemous reageant that Muramasa could get his hands on to create soul-shattering fear and terror. Well adjusted, stable, self-controlled, and a rather nice person...for certain values of a person.
* CreepyGood: Thanks to a long line of mentally stable and morally just wielders and role models in the Urabe Clan is a reasonably nice person within her limits. Does not change the fact that she can be terrifying without trying.
* TheDreaded: Able to literally kill with fear or drive people insane with the terror that she generates with her powers. For obvious reasons also has a undeserved bad reputation in the magical community.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette
* TheFettered: Her sheath is in fact a seal on her powers. Even drawing her blade an inch causes frost to form, the temperature to plummet, and [[MindRape the focus of her attention to suffer his worst fears and nightmares brought to life]]. Drawing her further exponentially ramps the power up and makes her fear powers hit everyone around her.
* HorrifyingTheHorror: Was able to literally scare the [[EldritchAbomination Dementors]] guarding Hogwarts so badly they defecated when she visited during Third Year.
* HumanoidAbomination: To date, no one has seen her avatar's true form and had their sanity intact afterward. It even terrifies Dementors. The Kago everyone interacts with is a mask over something ''far'' more alien.
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: Judging from the mad screams of terror emitted by the man who ordered Nameless to be tortured and then watching hungry Dementors flee madly from the sight of her, very much yes.
* TheSociopath: She has vestigal emotions at best and can only comprehend emotions by feeding on them. In the modern era, she works as an actress who is eternally typecast into terrifying villains.
* SociopathicHero: Literally a sociopath and also one of the good guys who acts as the ultimate person to break up family fights.
* TearJerker: The death of the last member of the Urabe Clan in her arms. She was unable to weep for him, and is trying to obey his last dying order to "find a way to smile for yourself, Aunt Kago". Later on is seen to be afraid of disappointing all the positive role models in her life with the Urabe.
* UncannyValley: Falls squarely in the middle of this. Her facial expressions are patently faked, and she flips from one to another like pulling a fresh card from a deck.

[[folder: Kansha]]
A cooking knife set crafted by the elderly Muramasa shortly before his death as an act of gratitude. The youngest Muramasa.

* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: His avatar looks about ten years old. Acts his age to all his big sisters (except Suisei who he gets along well with).
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Has many of the same sharpness enchantments as Juuchi Yosamu and Umitsubame, which make him surprisingly deadly.
* BadassFamily: Two in fact. His 'birth family' of the Muramasas and Harry Potter's family, after Juuchi gave him as a Christmas gift to Harry.
* BerserkButton: Masamunes and Buddhists who imprisoned him to try to purge his evil in the 1800s.
* ChefOfIron: While not a weapon of combat, he is quite capable in a fight. Filleting fish is little different than filleting attackers of his kitchen.
* CombatPragmatist: Very much so in a serious fight.
* DeadpanSnarker: Sarcastic and acerbic to his sisters and others who do not have his respect.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[Anime/YuYuHakusho Yusuke Urameshi.]]
* FriendToAllChildren: However, to those in need such as the Akizuki sisters and hungry children, he is a total softie.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Snarky, sarcastic, and put-upon, but a good person deep down with serious respect for fellow cooks and people who enjoy his cooking.
* SupremeChef: As one might expect from a chef who has been practicing his trade for four centuries. One of the happiest days in his long life was discovering that the Potters collected many cookbooks for non-Japanese cuisine.
* WeaponizedTeleportation: As a set of a dozen cooking knives, can shift his avatar around from blade to blade in a fight or generate multiple avatars.

[[folder: Kyoshu]]
The Sword of Faded Memories, katana. Her power is memory manipulation. "''Mou, it is?''"

* AmnesiacResonance: Has forgotten how to fight and use her memory manipulation powers normally, but her combat reflexes can reeemerge under stress.
* AmnesiacsAreInnocent: Her post World War Two personality is that of an amnesiac young child in an adult body.
* AmnesiacVillainJoinsTheHeroes: Before World War Two, she was the tormentor of her sisters. Afterward, she is effectively their ward.
* BeyondTheImpossible: How her memory manipulation powers worked. While the dead and full kami were immune, she could cause anyone to forget anything in their memory, implant false memories, or cause anyone to forget that her victim even ''existed''. She could also shift her blade to insubstantial or a form that resisted getting cut by Juuchi.
* CatchPhrase: "Mou" when her short term memory buffer overflows and resets, "If I find the Mizuchi I get a prize!" is a RunningGag formed whens he met her sister Juuchi. Also known as 'The Sword of Goldfish Memory' to her sisters.
* CoverInnocentEyesAndEars: Will instantly cover Kensho's ears if Akutoku swears while the kogatana is visiting.
--> '''Kyoshu:''' [[LampshadeHanging "Umitsubame, Umitsubame, Akutoku said the bad word!"]]
* DeathOfPersonality: WordOfGod has stated that the Kyoshu from before World War II is gone forever. [[AlphaBitch Considering what]] [[TheSociopath she was like]], [[{{Understatement}} this is probably a good thing.]]
* DirtyCoward: Not afraid to run away from a fight that she looked to be losing in her original state.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder Okita Alter.]]
* FateWorseThanDeath: In the one scene we have hinting at what happened to her during World War Two, she is restrained, unable to talk, and reduced to silently begging for the viewpoint character to shoot her to put her out of her misery as she is wheeled in for another [[ColdBloodedTorture 'test']] of her memory powers.
* ForgetfulJones: As long as she is performing an action, she can stay more or less on track. The moment she is distracted, her memory 'resets' and she starts over from scratch (for example an attempt to style the hair of her grandniece Ying staretd with a French braid, then cornrows, then floofing it, and finally odango hair buns). Likewise, it is a total crap shoot if any memory will be uploaded into long-term storage, and how it will come out if it does.
* ForgivenButNotForgotten: Her family has accepted that the person in her body now is not the same as the AlphaBitch who tormented them for centuries. They also keep a constant eye on her just in case her evil past personality looks to be reemerging.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Nameless who also suffered from the abuse of her powers.
* ImpossiblyTackyClothes: What you get when someone with severe memory issues dresses herself. Nothing matches. ''Nothing''.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Her constant tormenting of Fudo forced the Masamune blade to develop a spell that would allow her to be imprisoned by nullifying her phasing power. Then Fudo shared it with the Japanese mages of Sub-Unit 942 who claimed to be looking into ways to reverse Kyoshu's effects. Which they were in part to weaponize her abilities to control memory after [[SuicidalOverconfidence she volunteered to work with them]]. Because she had also tormented her sisters for centuries, no one came to rescue her for almost a decade.
* ManipulativeBastard: The former incarnation of Kyoshu delighted in tormenting her sisters and the Masamunes by targeting those around them such as owners, loved ones, and allies.
* PlayingWithPuppets: Her former evil persona's M.O. In her final fight with Fudo in 1923, she caused the bodyguard mages to forget how to breathe, and was planning to turn the wife of Fudo's owner into a gloating message for Fudo ''who would then cut her own throat'' with a post-hypnotic command. Fudo interrupted Kyoshu, so that the victim ''only'' forgot her husband and sons.
* ScatterbrainedSenior: While her avatar is in her 20s, the rest of this trope applies. She is very old and her amnesia makes it near-impossible to transfer memories into long-term storage. Any distraction or pause in a string of actions causes her to 'reset' and start over again. She also has severe comprehension issues which resulted in her badly misreading that Juuchi wanted to kill her as opposed to a 'friendly duel'.
* SiblingRivalry: Her motivation for tormenting her sisters. Being surpassed by other later swords such as Juuchi Yosamu caused her to want to tear all the competition down to build herself back up into [[DaddysLittleVillain the greatest of the magical swords of Japan]].
* TraumaInducedAmnesia: Whatever happened to her while in the clutches of Sub-Unit 942 during the Second World War totally destroyed her memory. It is to date unknown whether they inflicted it upon her, or she inflicted amnesia upon herself in an attempt to escape the horrors that she was subjected to. What is known that even Kyoshu in all her past cruelty did not deserve what was done to her.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: An informational snippet depicted a series of quotes from her life, revealing her descent from a person who, other than a lack of forgetfulness, was almost identical to her modern self into the monster she was by the start of World War II.

[[folder: Norimune]]
The Unrepentant Blade, 1511s nodachi greatsword commissioned for the Uesugi Clan to curry favor with Hachiman. Her power is the ability to control luck.

Father of Colombe d'Aubigny du Chasteler, Jacklyn Fox, and Delilah de Breuil.

* AnythingThatMoves: Just like her daughters Colombe and Jacklyn, had quite an appetite for romantic conquests. This included siring three children on three separate women and Benjamin Franklin, among many others.
* BlessedWithSuck: Her unique magical power lets her [[WindsOfDestinyChange force the best positive luck for a time, but she must suffer an equal amount of negative luck to build her positive balance back up]]. Also if she goes too long without conflict in her life, her bad luck turns on herself.
* CombatPragmatist: As one might expect with her experiences, Norimune believes that fair fights are for suckers. Seen when she bear maced Tsukiakari.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Hoo boy. Norimune has had a very rough time of her life indeed.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: The good news for Norimune is that TheMasquerade is failing and her actual heroism will soon come to light, her daughters have tracked her down to establish tentative reconciliation with her, she has met her grandchildren, and there are hints that the spirits of her beloved pirate ships may soon be summoned. [[spoiler: Plus the spirit of her great first love Julie d'Aubigny is waiting for her as a fellow Servant of Hachiman in [[{{Main/Heaven}} Takamagahara]] which she can visit as a kami. As well, her role in stopping Verdun will be recognized.]]
* FromBadToWorse: Rejected by the priests of Hachiman, passed through a variety of users with no firm attachments like a bad penny, get picked on by Kyoshu, decide to leave Japan to see the world as a mercenary, meet the great love of your life only to have her die unexpectedly while you are on campaign, have your prized and beloved enchanted pirate ship get stolen and then get sunk in your attemt to reclaim her, have the [[AncientConspiracy International Confederation of Wizards]] write your heroic deeds out of history to preserve TheMasquerade, incorrectly think that the mother of your youngest child had betrayed you so you flee her before finding out that she is pregnant, get blackmailed into fighting for Imperial Japan in World War Two, get imprisoned for being a war criminal, and finally when your daughters show up, one of them wants to [[CallingTheOldManOut beat you up for dishonoring her mother]].
* IronWoobie: Despite the multiple kicks to her over the centuries, will still do the right thing under protest.
* TheLostLenore: No less than ''three''. Julie d'Aubigny was one of the great loves of her life, and Julie's death emotionally shattered her. She also had a deep love for her enchanted pirate ship ''Impenitent'' which was sunk at Trafalgar grappled to her replacement ship ''Lex Talonis''. Finally, she had a messy break-up with Delilah's mother Jezabel de Breuil when she thought that she had been betrayed by misunderstanding a conversation Jez was having with her father.
* JadeColoredGlasses: All her shattered hopes, betrayals, and failures real and perceived have welded these to her face.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Bitter, cynical, acerbic, and vulgar, but under all the scars and pain she is still a hero.
* LittleBitBeastly: Thanks to one of her first owners being a Kitsune, her avatar manifests with fox ears and tail.
* ThePaladin: Like her [[{{Main/Foil}} old rival Tokunotakai and her eldest daughter Colombe]], Norimune is consecrated to Hachiman as one of his Blades who serve as an independant troubleshooter.
* NoodleIncident: Her entire life has been a string of these.
* ParentalAbandonment: Has the bad habit of not realizing that sleeping with other women when her oversized blade is unsheathed results in pregnancies for them. No less than ''three'' times, although in Norimune's defense Julie died in childbirth, and Sally Gray was in prison as a pirate when Jacklyn was born. Thus still does not excuse her burning Jezabel's letters unopened that would have told her about Delilah.
* RetiredBadass: After narrowly escaping execution for war crimes after World War Two, Norimune has laid low after getting out of prison. The arrival of her daughters has started to pull her out of her shell, though.
* ShellShockedVeteran: Has fought in battles from the {{UsefulNotes/SengokuPeriod}} to {{UsefulNotes/WorldWarTwo}} and the scars run very deep.
* {{Main/Tsundere}}: A particularly grumpy and jaded version of one. This attitude was established as a defense mechanism after one too many traumas in her life.
* TheUnfavorite: Rejected for her size and ostentatious decorations by the priests of Hachiman although ''not'' by the deity. Thinks of herself as a failure of Muramasa's swordsmithing, although her creator is actually very proud of what she has done.
* WalkingTheEarth: Spent almost four centuries doing this. The only continents that she has not spent time in are Australia and Antartica. This caused Colombe no end of problems trying to trace her trail.
* VitriolicBestBuddies: With Akutoku who punches her buttons and in turn allows Norimune to blow off steam by fighting someone who can take it.

[[folder: Suisei]]
The spirit of a tanto named 'Fading Comet'. Currently helping her ancestral family run a bakery in Tokyo.

* ChefofIron: She is a baker and acts as a hidden bodyguard and aunt to her family.
* LetsGetDangerous: Suisei is quiet, sweet, nice, and [[KnifeNut the winner of the 'most times anyone has stabbed Kyoshu to protect their loved ones' competition]] when she stabbed the now-amnesiac Kyoshu ''37 times'' before being physically dragged off her by Umitsubame and Chisuheri.
* SupremeChef: Makes pastries to die for.

[[folder: Umitsubame]]
The Waterwitch Blade, the spirit of a Su Yari spear and the second youngest of the Muramasas.

* AbsurdlySharpBlade: In her own words has the 'diet-lite version' of Juuchi's enchantments. She can cut anything that she believes that she can cut.
* BladeOnAStick: An incredibly sharp and durable spear who can fight Juuchi toe to toe.
* OnlySaneMan: Primary cat herser of the Muramasas. A master potion crafter who makes sure to have a large supply of Calming Potions on hand at all times for her use.
* TeamMom: Nicknamed the "Muramasa Momblade" by her sisters.

!Izu Refugees
A crew who were stranded on one of the islands in the Izu Archipelago at the start of Blood Week, recently reunited with civilization after ten long years.
* BadassCrew: They managed to survive for ten years on a deserted island.

[[folder: Eric Baker]]
The son of Ellen Baker
* ActionSurvivor: Considering that Eric is not a magical or a reincarnate, this is a given.
* AnArmAndALeg: Eric had his right arm injured during the initial Abyssal attack on the ship that he, Samantha, Sora, and Yumiko were on. While Samantha and Yumiko had fairies that could have healed him, [[AdultsAreUseless none of the adults trusted the shipgirls or their fairies enough to let them do so.]] Eventually, because the bandages for Eric's arm had kept being washed in salt water, the arm became so badly infected that it had to be amputated.

[[folder: Samantha Baker]]
Eric's fraternal twin sister. Also the natural-born I-351 class tanker submaring !-354.
* ThisCannotBe: Let's just say Samantha did not like hearing that the other subs in her class are extremely lewd in their nature.

[[folder: Sora Tsukada]]
A kitsune and Eric and Samantha's ChildhoodFriend. Also the natural-born Super Yamato Izu [[spoiler: formerly Onogoroshima.]]
* EmergencyTransformation: Sora awakening as a ship that was only about 60% complete certainly qualifies. Her cannons hadn't even been secured properly, meaning every time she fired a shot, she damaged the mountings and caused severe internal damage. What's more, until she was able to consume enough metal to create some boilers, she had to use her own heart to power a shipgirl's rigging. [[spoiler: After being fully built by Ume and Sakura, all of these drawbacks have been ironed out.]]
* IllGirl: Sora was not very healthy for the ten long years the group was stranded, due to her hull not being even close to complete.
* MeaningfulRename: Changed her ship designation from Onogoroshima, the Kamo Government's BlasphemousBoast that they were equal to the gods, to Izu, a name to remind her of the islands she and the others survived on for ten years.

[[folder: Yumiko Yamada]]
A tanuki and the friend of Eric, Sora, and Samantha. Also the natural-born Kazehaya-Class oiler Karasaki.
* ShipTease: Has been teased with a tanuki who was adopted by Fubuki.

[[folder: Hinata Hanai]]
A jorogumo hanyou who survived for several years on the wreckage of a cargo ship. Met the rest of the Izu refugees when they took shelter while setting out to see if any other people in the world had survived. Also the natural-born Mamiya-Class food ship Hōyo.
* FreakOut: After returning to civilization, Hinata was quite shocked to learn that the volcano her cargo ship had been near had finally buried the ship under the lava from its eruption. Fortunately, Eric and Sora were able to help her calm down.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: In spite of being quite attracted to Eric, Hinata chose to stay back and let him be together with Sora. [[spoiler: Ultimately subverted, as just before being fully built, Sora made sure to let Hinata know that she wouldn't mind one more member in the relationship.]]
* ShesGotLegs: Being a jorogumo hanyou, Hinata's human disguise can accurately be described as having legs that go on for miles.
* SupremeChef: Her parents owning a restaurant meant that Hinata was already a decent cook. Awakening as a food ship did nothing but help those skills.

[[folder: Baker's Dozen]]
A group of minisubs (22 Ho-Classes and 11 He-Classes who self-summoned at Izu to help the refugees.
* BadassAdorable: The Ho-Classes only appear to be about 12 years old, while the He-Classes appear to be 6. This doesn't prevent them from descending on their enemies like a pack of piranha.
* GondorCallsForAid: The Baker's Dozen self-summoned to assist the group trapped on Izu.
* HappilyAdopted: Were all adopted by Ellen Baker, hence the nickname "Baker's Dozen".
* LittleBitBeastly: Several of the minisubs are either Kawauso, Nekomata, Tanuki, Usagi, Kitsune, or Inugami Yokai.

* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: Her mother was one of the less [[BrokenAce broken]] Select.

A young girl chosen as a Select by Morrigan recently.
* ActualPacifist: Is more concerned with negotiating and talking threats down instead of fighting.

[[/folder]]
[[folder: Tonbo]]
A [[AnimateInanimateObject Muramasa]] who serves the Haneda family.
* AwesomeButImpractical: Her ability is to amplify senses and reflexes to a virtually prescient level, at the cost of being able to see anything that isn't a threat. Sounds amazing, until people get cut down by complete accident merely because they were standing too close.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Went crazy following the loss of her family and her own perceived betrayal of the Muramasas.
* SerialKillerKiller: Formerly.
* SuperReflexes / SuperSenses: Grants these to her wielder.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: Was kind and maternal up until her TraumaCongaLine. Despite having more or less recovered, she tends to be darker and more acerbic these days.
